Actress Michelle Williams has been tipped to take on the role of Marilyn Monroe in a new movie about the screen icon. The “Brokeback Mountain” star has reportedly been offered the lead in upcoming film “My Week With Marilyn”. Tabloids claim Heath Ledger’s ex won the role ahead of other actresses including Scarlett Johansson and Amy Adams. The Daily Mail reports director Simon Curtis and producer David Parfitt picked Williams to play Monroe, but are still waiting for the Oscar-nominated star to agree. The picture will document Monroe’s time filming 1957 movie The Prince and The Showgirl with Laurence Olivier and is based on a diary kept by the film’s assistant director Colin Clarke.
